TIE Preservation OF Our Forests.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
In this democratic country, where every citizen
claims the right to use his land as he pleases dig
ging down for hidden treasure, and stripping it OF
the timber 1t is difficult to see how our forests are
to be preserved.
The paternal governments OF Europe do not
allow such small matters to disturb them. They
simply go ahead and require the landowners to
leave certain proportion Of their timber uncut,
besides requiring them 10 plant trees. We cannot
very we'll compel our citizens to do these things.
We must persuade them, or offer them sufficient
inducements. Mr.. James Byars, OF the National
Forestry Bureau, in recent speech suggested that
the better policy would be to exempt from taxa
ton all lands planted in forests Doubtless this
would do much toward preventing the wholesale
destruction OF our forests. In some Of the Euro
pean forests all that Is done Is to preserve the
dergrowth to such an extent as Will always leave
young tree to take the place OF the larger tree
cut away for timber.
II the exemption plan will do any good 1t should
be given trial. Al least One-fourth OF our terri
tory must always remain in forests or We may
make up our minds to see the land gradually turn
into desert. II q state OF governmental system
OF exemptions and rewards will do any good, then
the sooner we out 1t into operation the better.

large numbers OF goddess people, and that Chicago

that since the destruction OF SOdOm the world had
never seen such wicked city. His righteous in

WHEN GRANDPAPA WAS BORN.
From the illustrated London News.
Fashion, In the matter OF dress at the seaside,
was as ezfoeant then as 1t is now at fashionable
watering place, and the following advice to gen.
tleman Is given in the London Ctronicie, August
1918, 1857: "For the morning provide yourself
with very large round hat This will preserve
your face from the sun and wind, both of which
are very pre1udicial to the complexion: Let your
hair be wen filled with pomatum, powder, and
bears grease and tuck it under your hat Have
an enormous chitterlin to your shirt, the broader
the better and pull IL up look as like the p0uter
pigeon as you possibly can.
"A white wa1stcoat without skirts and q coat
with collar up TO your ears will do for an early
hour; and, II they say your head looks like that OF
John the Baptist In a charger. tell them you are
not ashamed TO look like an Apostle, whatever
they are. Your first appearance must be In red
morocco slippers, with yellow heels; your second
in shoes with the Vandyke tie; your third in
Cordovan boots, with very long roweled spurs
which are very useful to walk tn for, II you tear
lady's apron, 1t gives you good opportunity Of
showing how graceful you can ask pardon: Your
fourth dress must be the three-cOrnered hat, the
Paris pump and the ArtOis buckle"

Dr. W. NJ. Butler in the Epoch.
suppose That the least harmful method Of smok.
ing Is the use Of a clean pipe with mild Tobacco
pipe that has not absorbed the nicotine. The
harmfulness of pipe comes its having absorbed q
great quantity OF nicotine, so that you are con.
stantly taking more of 1t into the system. The
cigar would come next in favor. OF course, the
stronger pipe Is the more nicotine there is In It,
and the more nicotine you have the greater Is the
chance OF injuring your system. The chief con-
stituentS OF tobacco SNAKE are water, carbOntc
acid carbonic oxide In state OF gas and nicotine.
When a man smokes too much the excess pro-
duces redneSS and irritation OF the stomach, and
the membrane secretes irregulary and does not
produce the due amount OF gastric fluid. Hence
digestion is interfered with. That is the first
phase. After awhile the stomach gets into such q
condition that it tOlerateS this state Of existence
so thaC there Is not the same nausea produced In
an old smoker that we find In younger smoker.
Whether smoking Is good or man depends on
his organization. do not think that smoking is
ever really beneficial for nervous man. Then,
again, much depends on how much a man smokes,
and when he smokes. There are certain men who,
when they are tired, when their nervous system
has been on too great strain, will smoke one or
two cigars; they will become quiet. The nervous
man should not smoke at all. Phlegmatic persons
would BE- least liable to be harmed.
